How badly do you want to succeed?
A young man desires to become a successful millionaire, so he goes to see a
wise guru, who knows the ultimate secret to success.
The young man says to the teacher, “I want to become rich and successful. Can you help me?”
The guru smiles and says, “Meet me at the beach tomorrow at 4 AM, and I will tell you the secret
to success.”
So the next morning, the young man shows up on the beach at 4 AM, just like the guru had
asked, wearing a suit and tie. The guru spots the young man and motions for him to come into the water.
So the young man goes knee-deep into the water.
“Come out further,” the guru says.
“Listen old man,” the young guy says with impatience, “I’m already in the water. I didn’t come here for a
swimming lesson. Tell me the secret to success right now or I’m leaving.”
The guru, UNAFFECTED by the young man’s OUTBURST, replies calmly, “You are already waist-deep.
What’s a few more steps?”
So the young man WADES deeper into the water until the water is up to his neck. The sun is
beginning to rise.
“So tell me the secret,” the young man DEMANDS.
The guru says, “Sure,” and suddenly forces the young man’s head under the water.
The young man, caught OFF GUARD, SWALLOWS salty sea water by accident and begins to drown.
After 30 seconds of keeping him under the water,the guru pulls the young man back up, who
begins coughing immediately and GASPING FOR AIR.
The guru asks the young man a question:
“When your head was under the water, what did you want to do?”
“Kill…you…”
He looks up at the guru and sees that he is still looking at him, waiting for a
response
“I WANTED TO BREATHE!”
The Guru said.
“When you want success as much you wanted to breathe just now when you were drowning,
then, and ONLY THEN, will you have success.”
And with that, the guru goes back to swimming.
